THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW
Carreno in Recital.
The recitals given by Mme. Carreno at
Chickering Hall on the afternoons of April
15 and 18 were, as might be expected,
successess both artistically and financially.
The Hall was crowded on both occasions
by noted assemblages, who displayed every
manifestation of delight at Carreno's
superb interpretation of the entertaining
programs.
Of Carreno it suffices to say that she
played with all of her old-time tempera-
mental vigor. To the Chopin numbers
she imparted much individuality.
In
Beethoven's Sonata Appassionata and Mac-
Dowell's Etude de Concert she displayed
an impressive quality of authority and
technical facility. In her reading of the
Liszt Polonaise E Major she simply as-
tounded with the volume and variety of
tonal color, and the ease with which she
overcame every technical difficulty aroused
merited applause.
The Chickering Concert Grand which
she used at both recitals was a splendid in-
strument, and responded nobly to every
demand made upon it. Its reserve power
seemed to be unlimited. This was best
revealed when the most extreme forcing
failed to bring forth an unmusical note.
Such a scale, even and satisfactory in all
sections, is indeed a work of art, and
maintains the reputation which this firm
have ever occupied in this special domain
of piano building.
Value of Good Credit.
A good credit is something worth striv-
ing for, and when attained the possessor
may rightfully feel a just pride in the fact
that he possesses the confidence of those
with whom he deals. A good credit stand-
ing properly used is an acquisition of un-
limited value, but when abused it becomes
one of the worst curses that can be entailed
upon an individual.
It should not be inferred because one is
in good credit standing that he is entitled
to unlimited credit or that his honesty is
called in question should the jobber or
manufacturer place a limit on the amount
he is willing the merchant should owe him.
It must be born in mind that honesty alone
will not pay debts. One may be abso-
lutely honest and not able to pay. The
fact that he does not pay is not an evidence
that he is dishonest. It will readily be
seen that one's ability to pay must be taken
into account as well as his honesty.
To obtain and maintain a good credit, it
is essential that the merchant, in addition
to having a capital, be it large or small,
should be honest, capable and industrious,
and should have a just appreciation of the
rights of those of whom he seeks credit. If
he possesses these qualities he will have no
trouble in obtaining all the credit his
business demands. There is danger, how-
ever, that he may be led to overstep the
bounds of prudence and load himself with
debt for goods on his shelves in excess of
the legitimate requirements of his business,
